Welcome Eudora developers!

By now many if not most of you reading this will have seen the news about the next version of Eudora being open source and based on Thunderbird's technology. You may also seen some of the analysis of the announcement.

I thought about writing up some analysis of my own, but rather than listen to me I think it's better to let the Eudora developers speak for themselves. For my own part I'll simply say that that's it's great to have the Eudora developers join the Mozilla community and the world of open source (in particular, I'm glad to see more developers with deep experience in the email space join the project), and I wish them the best of luck as they develop the next Eudora release.

Here here!

This is just brilliant news. Easily the most resilient email program ever is coming full circle.

Steve Horner - creator of Eudora - has almost 20 years experience in email software. That cannot be a bad thing for Thunderbird.

As a Firefox + Eudora user who could not switch to Thunderbird (just didn't meet my needs) I can't wait for the next Eudora version.
